Hi!

Does somebody know whats the expression to get the name of the operator that contains the current operator (as a string).
Better to say the name of the "parent context or operator"?

I hope you know what I mean. Idk how to describe better.


Thank you and greetings!

you can use opname() Hscript expression and provide relative path to the parent node

Hey!

Thanks, that does the job!

Got to mention that you also need the --> ` <-- signs, in front and back to evaluate (I needed to find out). Otherwise you just get --> opname("..") <-- as text written into the parameter.

You only need those if you are injecting it as a part of text (as any other hscript expression inserted into raw text)

You can also set it as proper expression (green color) and then you don't need `

What do you mean with "proper expression" with green color?

If I just write opname("..") into a parameter it is just white and does nothing. So how to get it "green" and turn it into a "proper expression", as you say?

I'm also very interested. What is it?

there is many ways, but one of them is:
- put cursor in the parameter
- press Alt+E to open Edit dialog
- type in the expression (without ``)
- change dropdown to Hscript Expression and Apply or Accept

but of course there is nothing wrong with using `` to insert expressions into pure string text
my point was that the expression part itself is without `` and `` are only needed when inserting Hscript expressions into the raw string and not necessary if the key is already set to Hscript expression even in string parameters

Alright thanks, that makes it clear.

Is it possible to get the name of a specific node in a file path?

NODE = /obj/output/filecache

$HIP/render/NODE.$F4.exr

and what would happen if I change the name of the node? Would the path change accordingly?
